Hello,
When I just bought this camera several years ago, I entered the time and date settings and after I've done this it never asked for time/date settings again.
But now every time I turn on the power button, I have to set the time an date and press "SET" for OK.

Every time I turn on camera I have to reset year,month, date, and time, I just bought the camera refurbished, otherwise everything is working just fine.

Date and time display resets every time camera is turned off ... how can I correct this ?

My camera was in great working order until just recently I let someone borrow it. Now, the lens won't close, and it is unable to focus. Every time I turn it on, it asks me to turn it off and back on again, but even when I do, it doesn't work. It never focuses, and the lens never closes. Help!
